I should have been more clear. There are certainly third-party products
available that will access NetWare shares, emulate Novell servers, etc. What
I meant was that the only "official" Novell stuff for Linux is their new NDS
8/eDirectory products.

I have used Mars_nwe. It's essentially Samba for NetWare. It works, but only
with bindery emulation on your NetWare servers. With official NDS now
available, I doubt that Mars_nwe will continue to be developed.
